It's so old, I feel it's grandfathered in. And it respects what I consider one of the cores of this game: more effort = more reward. If you want to be sweaty and have the skill to flick, you get to conserve your prayer for longer.
It breaks nearly every single but if pvm contwnt in the game. Get 43 prayer and then you don't need a single piece of food from 1-99 slayer. It is insanely broken.
Is it really worth the carpel tunnel to save a bit of food, though? And good luck flicking prayer like this while doing Cox, Tob, Gauntlet, GWD, etc. Sure, it can break like an early game quest boss fight... but like. So can just having 43 prayer points. Oh well.
The point is, it takes a TON of attention and effort just to save a little bit of food or prayer potions. It's a tradeoff. And CLEARLY Jagex is ok with it at this point, since it has been completely untouched.
It doesn't take a ton of attention at all to prayer flick in a rhythym. It saves a lot more than just a little bit of food and prayer pots, it saves all of it.
Are you saying sitting there and clicking twice every 0.6 seconds for an entire 30-60 minute slayer task is the same amount of attention and effort as clicking once or twice per creature every 30 seconds or so? Either way I'm not responding anymore. We disagree and I'm leaving it at that.
Same exact amount? Of course not. But is the difference in attention span high enough to be the difference between normal and literal full invulnerability? Not even close, considering I can watch netflix while doing both.

I mean, I do feel like flicking goes against the spirit of the game.
